As for me, I’m all for decriminalizing anything related to pot. I find it hard to equate the average pot smoker I met with a person who deserves to be jailed for life under this state’s three strikes law. Nor have I seen any evidence that this is a “gateway drug.” I mean Really?!?

Even though there is an overwhelming amount of evidence showing the hypocrisy in criminalizing marijuana, there are two enforcement issues involving legalizing marijuana. (This is not something I learned when researching in high school cross-examination debate. There, pretty much every argument has to be tied to either nuclear war or species destruction to be worth it’s salt.) The first is that there is no adequate test for driving under the influence and the second is the multiplicative effect of drinking alcohol (which is legal) and smoking pot at the same time.

I don’t know the answers to those, but the motto of this site is to “write to create context for another to think” not to have an answer for everything.
